I need an advice about job. Please. I need to write a letter.

One acquaintance sent my CV to one man in the company i want to work. She later wrote me, that this man wants to speak to me, and she asks to contact him.

Because he is a foreign, and i am not very confident in talking his language i want to avoid speaking per telephone, can i write him and ask a meeting (i think it would be better for me to meet in person)? Or maybe this man wanted exactly to talk over the phone???
